As for parenting, I plan to adopt when I get older. I don't see why I should bring another child into the world when there are plenty needing parents.

I would want to adopt because I'm not cruel enough to want to give someone my particular genes.

If you are a parent, let's have a few details. How many kids? How old? What are their names? Pictures would be cool too.

You know, getting married seems much more frightening to me than having children. I'm really good with children. It is much harder to sever the tie betwen parent and child than husband and wife. The idea of undying romantic love seems like a fairy tale to me. Uncondition love for one's children is much more tangible. I think having a child can save a relationship. I'd have a lot of respect for a woman who would mother my children.

Anybody else look at a woman and wonder if she has a good genetic structure of not?

I found out that my 19 year old ex-girlfriend had back surgery and that her mom has MS and my thought was "good thing I broke up with her, that family has bad genes."

no, i dont really think like that. but your statement reminds me of this big great dicussion we had in history class

When I was a child, my dad always forced me to participate in activities that I had no interest in (and hated, like baseball) just because he enjoyed and excelled in them, and figured that any child of his own would as well. Now he has four kids, and I can tell he'll always be disappointed in each of us for not following in his footsteps. I don't want to be that parent. It would not be especially important for me to see my influence in regard to the child's hobbies and interests. It's much more worthwhile to teach politeness, respect, patience, empathy, and so many other things that often fall by the wayside just because a parent wants his or her kid to be the best player on the Little League team. Besides, I don't need another "me" running around, and neither does the rest of the world.

Ever taken a shit in a pre clogged toilet? Tell me that is not the worst. You sit down to poop, and start thinking, "Hey is the toilet clogged?" Then after you try to flush, it makes a weird noise and you know youre fucked. You cant plunge it because youll get poop all over the plunger, and you are in no mood to clean poop up. So what do you do? You leave it and blame it on the family pet. Works everytime.

these are older pictures i have posted before, our camera is being fixed right now.

Beautiful family...

EMMAh · 06.18.2006, 11:53 AM

If I ever decide I want kids I'm going to adopt them. There are so many little babies in need of loving homes

I would also hate to have my kid turn out like me, just because my family has a strong history of depression and drug abuse.

Here's my little man

He thinks of me as his mom.

Amaranth · 06.18.2006, 01:05 PM

I think it is respectable that so many want to adopt, there are lots of kids who need good parents.

HaydenAsche · 06.18.2006, 01:06 PM

Amaranth, that child doesn't look 10 and a half years old.

alyasa · 06.18.2006, 01:08 PM

Those are older pictures, man. And cute hamster EMMAh, or is that a mouse? Rat?

Amaranth · 06.18.2006, 01:09 PM

here is my baby's daddy, its another old picture, I need to get some new pics

soon.

Trasher02 · 06.18.2006, 01:09 PM

I don't think i ever would have children.
I would be very irresponsible.
